COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONThis big oatmeal stout is midnight black in color--with a big roasty, mocha-like aroma. It has a silky body from the use of rolled oats, and a round and lasting finish. Perfect as an after dinner treat.

Bottle for breakfast. Dark beer with a brown head. Nice roast malt aroma with some coffee notes. Nice malt feel. Very good slightly chilled but not really cold. Some chocolate and late light bitterness.

Bottle. Pours a deep dark black with a medium to large dark tan head. Sweet roasted malt and a hint of dark fruit and chocolate. Medium bodied, big and full of roast, a touch of plum filled sweetness, but not really oxidized in any way. Long chewy roast into the finish. Comes across a touch boozy, but it’s never warm in any way, just apparent while drinking that there’s a good amount of alcohol in here.

Pours a crisp dark chocolate color leaving a very beautiful head. Leaves very little lace but I am ok with that. Lots of chocolate and roast comes out. Cocoa nibs at the nose which I love. Finishes a bit dry which I am not a fan of but ok with. Dark fruit seems to come though, maybe a hint of raisin as it warms. I would love to try this draft and even better cask! This is my second bottle, which I think is a little better! I hope to get another!

A dark chocolate brown with just a trace of a tan head, and it smells like baker’s chocolate and brown sugar. The taste is that, plus some hoppy zing, and then this rich, smooth finish that just FLOODS your mouth with a sweet, heavy, undertow. I will buy this again.

The beer has a black body, appearing dark brown at the edges, sporting a thin beige cap. The aroma is mild, with light scents of dark roast, molasses, a hint of chocolate. The flavor is roasty and chocooalty, with subtle coffee notes. The flavor is decent. A smooth and creamy mouthfeel with moderately low carbonation. Palate coating, with abv hidden well. While this beer has some nice things going on and shows potential, I find it to be generally unexciting. This was ok.
